Green fingered garden lovers, shopping enthusiasts, fashionistas and foodies are being encouraged to get into the swing of spring as the Country Living Magazine Spring Fair returns to the Business Design Centre in London. Held on the 12-16th March 2008 in Islington, this annual springtime event captures the very essence of this vibrant season all under one roof.
Featuring hundreds of exclusive designers, the fair also showcases the finest in British crafts, furnishings and unique jewellery, as well as homemade food. This year exhibitors include Giddy Kipper, using the fascination of the seaside for inspiration in a range of quirky products for the home; Bradleys the Tannery bringing handcrafted leather and suede gardening tools and accessories and designer Katherine Hooker with her individual and gorgeous fusion of vintage East Coast America and contemporary England.
A visit to the fair is a perfect opportunity to banish the winter blues. You can explore the craft demonstration area or visit the Lifestyle Theatre where there is a range of diverse talks.
Pick up some springtime interior inspirations from consultant Joa Studholme or learn more about mushrooms and cultivating a climate change garden from River Cottage.
A Gala Evening will be held on Wednesday 12th March with £4 from every ticket sold being donated to The Field Studies Council, this year's Country Living Magazine Spring Fair charity affiliate.
